Overview

Juno East Austin: A Modern Urban Living Experience in Austin

Innovative Architecture and Sustainable Design

Juno East Austin stands out as a pioneering apartment complex in the East Austin neighborhood, showcasing a distinctive approach to residential construction. Completed in 2024, this five-story building features 24 thoughtfully designed units comprising studios and one-bedroom apartments. What makes Juno East Austin architecturally remarkable is its use of mass-timber construction—four levels of advanced mass-plywood-panel floors, laminated-veneer-lumber beams, and prefabricated components assemble in a manner akin to manufacturing processes. This approach, developed in collaboration with Ennead Architects, couples sustainability with innovative design, including timber ceilings, wood floors, and expansive floor-to-ceiling windows that flood interiors with daylight.

The sustainable credentials of Juno East Austin are further highlighted by its carbon-sequestering mass timber materials and an all-electric appliance package in each unit, underscoring a lifestyle that harmonizes healthy living with cutting-edge technology and energy efficiency. The interior partitions break from typical drywall finishes, favoring high-pressure laminate over plywood cores with exposed edges for an artisanal touch. These design choices elevate Juno East Austin beyond standard apartment living, offering an elevated, sophisticated ambiance.

Prime Location in East Austin’s Plaza Saltillo

Situated at 400 Comal Street, Juno East Austin benefits from its central location within the vibrant Plaza Saltillo area. This mixed-use district spans ten acres filled with diverse restaurants, shops, offices, and cultural venues, lending residents a live-work-play environment that is highly walkable. The community scores an impressive walk score of 95, underscoring its pedestrian-friendly surroundings, while its transit score of 46 reflects accessible public transportation options including nearby MetroRail commuter stations.

Residents are within easy reach of notable Austin attractions such as Lady Bird Lake, Boggy Creek Greenbelt, and the Texas Memorial Museum, all within a short distance.

A Sustainable and Tech-Forward Living Environment

Juno East Austin embodies a commitment to sustainability and innovation through its design and construction methods.
